Dashrath Manjhi, an Indian man who took 22 years to carve out a 110m path and had shortened the travel between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya town from 55km to just 15km.
Manjhi's wife Falguni Devi was badly injured and died because she fell from the mountain and the nearest town with a doctor was 55 km away. He carved the path because she died.

That is a truly community-spirited man. He has my greatest respect.

The reason he did this because his wife died. She couldn't make it to the hospital due to long distance. So he didnt wanted anyone to go through it.
Edit - Thank you for so many up votes. This was a dream come true.
